Hearing that Su Li was still sleeping, Xiao Douding looked a little disappointed. However, when she saw Jiang Zirou in front of her, Xiao Douding's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her arms to rub against her thigh.
"Auntie, let's go shopping outside, shall we..."
"not good!"
Jiang Zirou shook his head, cruelly rejecting Xiaodouding's request.
"No!" Xiao Douding tempted, "There are delicious monkeys, monkeys in the Guiyue Building on South Street..."
Xiao Douding pursed his lips, frowned, thought seriously for a while, and then blurted out: "There are delicious monkeys!"
You look, you look.
Jiang Zirou cast a sideways glance at Xiaodouding. This little guy could make a grand master's grand master so angry that his eyes would stare, and his blood pressure soared.
But when it comes to food.
Immediately, he will be able to count the treasures, not only can accurately name the tavern, but even the location can be said without thinking.
It can be seen that the little guy is not without talent.
It's just that the talent is used in the wrong place.
"It's not a monkey, it's a monkey brain!" Jiang Zirou frowned and corrected.
"It's Hou Naozi!" Little Douding didn't believe that he would make a mistake in eating, and angrily launched a sonic attack on his aunt.
"Do you have any brains?" Jiang Zirou pretended to be angry, and poked Xiaodouding's head with his slender fingers.
"Do you have any sons?"
Xiao Douding is a parrot with a good appearance, she is only so old, she doesn't even know what a Naizi is, but she can already cause 100,000 points of critical damage to Jiang Zirou...
…
afternoon.
On South Street, it's almost November now.
The autumn, which represents the harvest, is over, and the temperature is slowly dropping. In the water tanks on the road, pieces of ice can still be vaguely seen floating on the water.
The Great Xia Dynasty dominated Kyushu, known as the orthodox world.
The climate where the capital is located should be a temperate continental monsoon climate, which is typically characterized by four distinct seasons, very hot in summer and very cold in winter.
In this climate area, if there is no heating, the winter will be very difficult.
"In this era of low productivity, it is quite normal to see frozen bones on the side of the road in winter."
Jiang Zirou looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the broad street.
Because it is in a bustling area, and the weather is not very cold, there are not many people passing by on the street.
On both sides of the road, there are passers-by in a hurry, shopkeepers carrying goods, carts with various food or goods, and a variety of shops. At first glance, it looks quite prosperous.
"After all, it is at the feet of the emperor, and Jiang Heng's series of reforms over the years should have played a role."
Jiang Zirou thought.
She was still wearing a light white robe, but in order not to attract too much attention, the clothes were a little thicker. The flowing cuffs are embroidered with flourishing flower vines, the color of which is a slightly darker silvery white.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the beautiful girl took her stupid little niece, wandering around the bustling street in a lack of interest.
Even the plain clothes attracted the attention of many people on the side of the road.
Fortunately, there were Jin Yiwei in disguise, following around secretly, and no one disturbed Jiang Zirou's interest in shopping with his eyes open.
Little Douding is like a wild horse that has run free.
Holding Jiang Zirou's little finger in one hand, her big eyes swept across the street stalls.
"Auntie, do you think this candied haws is sweet?"
When he came to a shopkeeper, Xiao Douding raised his head, looked at the candied haws on the wooden shelf, and swallowed his saliva.
There is a word greedy written in each of the eyes.
"You'll know if you buy it and try it..." Jiang Zirou stretched out his hand and handed over a few copper coins.
The shopkeeper wearing a khaki-colored round cap was in his twenties, and his complexion was that of a poor family. Looking at the few copper coins in the palm of the young girl Bai Nen, he whispered shyly:
"It doesn't take so much..."
"I'll give you the extra as a tip." The girl's cheerful voice came.
The salesman blushed slightly, and then he reached out and took the copper coins carefully.
He carefully selected the largest and plump candied haws from the wooden shelf, picked it off, and handed it to the girl in white in front of him.
"Um!"
Under Xiaodouding's eager gaze, Jiang Zirou took a small bite off the top candied haws and chewed it slowly.
"It's really sweet, let's go..."
"don't want!"
Xiao Douding resisted his aunt, pouted his mouth, pouted his buttocks, and plowed the ground with his feet.
"Forget it, forget it, it's all for you, brat!"
Jiang Zirou hummed twice, and handed the candied haws to Xiaodouding.
"Thank you, aunt!" Xiao Douding happily took it, her big eyes bent into crescents.
In her eyes, even the great devil Jiang Zirou looked a little benevolent now.
It's tiring to take care of the child... Jiang Zirou immediately thought of his good friend Su Li, and wondered when this silly dragon would wake up.
"Auntie, auntie."
The stupid child raised his head and stretched out the candied haws in his hand, "Don't you want to eat another one?"
Huh, when did this little guy learn to share food... Jiang Zirou looked at the little saliva stained on the candied haws.
I couldn't help curling my lips, "Don't eat, if you eat too much, worms will grow in your mouth."
"What kind of bug will it grow?"
The stupid child put down the candied haws in his hand, his big eyes showing vigilance.
"It's that kind of fleshy, fat, greasy bug..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the stupid child swallow a mouthful of saliva, with a look of joy clearly in his eyes.
Absolutely!
Jiang Zirou covered her face with a "snap".
…
The afternoon passed quickly.
In the evening, when the sun was about to set from the west, Jiang Zirou and Xiao Douding came to Guiyue Restaurant on South Street.
Jiang Yuqing was a bit stupid, but no matter how she said it, she was also a majestic princess of Great Xia.
Wherever you go, the level will naturally not be too low to go there.
Guiyue Restaurant is located in the bustling area of the capital, and the people who come and go are either dignitaries or tyrannical warriors, and they do not entertain common people or wealthy businessmen.
The restaurant has a great view.
Jiang Zirou booked a private room on the third floor, opened the window, and could see in the distance, the Qianjiang River like a silver belt criss-crossing the vast wilderness, splashing patches of water at the corners.
If you look down the restaurant.
You can also see 28-year-old girls wearing tulle and showing their arms and legs, walking back and forth between the dining tables, refilling wine and serving dishes for the guests.
"Aunt... aren't those sisters cold?"
There are stoves burning in the four corners of the restaurant, but the temperature is still a bit low.
The smiles on the girls' faces were sweet, but judging from the stiffness in walking and the trembling delicate bodies, they should be very cold.
Xiao Douding took off the outermost padded jacket she put on, revealing the brocade long gown inside, and put it on the window sill of the private room, looking at the girls coming and going back and forth from the restaurant with some emotion.
"It should be quite cold..."
The dishes haven't been served yet, and there are some exquisite desserts, melons and fruits on the table. In front of Jiang Zirou was a jug of good wine, which was placed in a valuable silver jug.
"Then why don't they wear more clothes?"
Xiao Douding sat down obediently, and picked a piece of his favorite bamboo shoot paste from the desserts in front of him.
While chewing in small sips, while breaking the casserole to explore to the end.
People are different from birth... Jiang Zirou poured himself a glass of wine, and the clear liquor rippling back and forth in the glass.
"Not everyone can have clothes to wear when it's cold like you."
"oh."
Xiao Douding chewed the bamboo shoot paste in his mouth and swallowed it, looking a little uninterested.
She jumped down from the seat suddenly, and said seriously: "Then give these sisters my padded jacket. I have martial arts, so it doesn't matter if it's a little cold!"
Jiang Zirou was taken aback, but he didn't expect Xiao Douding to say that suddenly.
"That's no need..." Rubbed Jiang Yuqing's head, hugged her back to the seat, and then sighed, "The idea is very good, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. And... the sisters in your clothes are also I can't wear it."
"oh…"
Xiao Douding nodded again, "Auntie, what is treating the symptoms but not the root cause?"
"Go back and ask the Taifu and you will know."
Xiao Douding shrank his head, with a look of fear on his face, sat quietly on the chair, and did not ask any more questions.
…
In the restaurant, orchestras and strings sounded, and singing was overwhelming.
Slowly, the hot cooking dishes were slowly brought up and placed on the table one by one.
Jiang Zirou stretched out her chopsticks, took two bites from it, then frowned, and stopped eating more.
It's not that it tastes bad.
This Guiyue restaurant can be opened in the bustling area of the capital, and has such a resounding reputation, it must have its own uniqueness in cooking food.
However, over the years, Jiang Zirou's appetite has gradually been spoiled by the cooks in the palace.
After two bites, I didn't feel that there was much newness.
Then no more taste.
On the contrary, Xiao Douding seemed to be very happy to eat, chopsticks were flying like flying, constantly killing and sweeping up the food on the plate.
This somewhat exaggerated appetite made Jiang Zirou feel a little shocked.
This is really... a natural martial artist!
While drinking slowly, he closed his eyes and listened carefully to the melodious singing coming from downstairs.
It can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment.
However, not long.
"boom!"
It seemed that the sound of wine glasses breaking came from downstairs of the restaurant.
Afterwards, the sound of the piano tore apart, and there was a somewhat piercing broken sound.
The quiet and elegant atmosphere was completely destroyed. People were talking a lot, mixed with panic screams, and it was noisy.
"what happened?"
Jiang Zirou was surprised, turned around and looked out the window, and saw at the end of his sight, strands of golden light gathered together, becoming bigger and brighter.
"ah!"
Xiao Douding also put down the bowl and chopsticks, finally diverting his attention from the food.
She stood up, looked out of the window, and exclaimed loudly: "The sun is coming from the north!"
"How is this going?"
"Hasn't the sun already set?"
"That ball of fire seems to be flying towards the capital!"
On the street, people were talking and chaotic.
…
Jiang Zirou frowned, and his expression gradually became dangerous and serious.
"A Golden Roc, unfortunately the bloodline is not very pure. It would be great if it was a pure-blooded Golden Roc..."
At some point, Xieyan flew out of the Qiankun cauldron and floated beside Jiang Zirou, looking out the window greedily.
"Pure-blooded Jinpeng, the scorching hot blood is really a rare delicacy in the world!"
"What is this!"
Seeing this big eyeball, Xiao Douding was very excited, and bounced to Jiang Zirou's side, reaching out to grab it.
"hiss!"
The big eyeballs suddenly became the size of an adult's head, and he said to Xiao Douding in a vicious voice: "I am the monster who likes to eat children the most, especially a chubby, white and tender one like you."
"Auntie, is this delicious?"
Xiao Douding was not frightened at all, instead he opened his eyes wide and gnawed at his fingers to ask questions.
"Um?"
The big eyeballs froze for a moment, and really couldn't figure out how his appearance was related to eating.
"Naturally it's delicious, and it's delicious in the world. I'll invite you to taste it together when you achieve great martial arts in the future." Jiang Zirou said without looking back.
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Xiao Douding bounced on the spot, his evil eyes rolled around, and landed on Jiang Zirou's shoulder, as if he was a little frightened.
…
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Jiang Zirou clapped his hands, and suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open, and several men in long gowns walked in from outside.
Most of them are ordinary in appearance, but hidden under the loose clothes are a strong body and a strong cultivation, their eyes are like torches, and they are piercing.
"Your Highness! What are your orders?"
One of them took a step forward and half-kneeled in front of Jiang Zirou. He was actually a rare master in the Grand Master realm.
"I'm going out for a while, you escort the princess back to the palace."
"Obey!"
"You go back first, and my aunt will take you out to play next time when she comes back, okay..." Jiang Zirou turned around, squatted down, her eyes softened, she reached out to hug Xiaodouding, and patted her on the back lightly.
"Then aunt, you must be careful."
The stupid kid is not stupid at all, he knows what Jiang Zirou is going to do. At this moment, he spoke with some worry.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you a charcoal-roasted roc when I come back next time..."
The smile on Jiang Zirou's face was relaxed.
This is not pretending on purpose, but full of confidence in his current strength.
Even if the power of the new world paid the price, it forcibly came to the relatively backward world of origin.
She also has the confidence to kill him easily.
"Okay, goodbye, aunt!" Xiao Douding put on his padded jacket, and left under the leadership of Jin Yiwei.
Jiang Zirou took a step forward and disappeared from the restaurant.
